I’d be more than a little surprised if someone not on this list goes in the first round. I count 48 names for 32 slots, though I’m sure there are two more out there that could round out my list to 50. I also count 19 locks, meaning that it’s likely the remaining 29 names battling it out for 13 slots. That’s how confusing this draft will likely be. If you have any more names you’d like me to add, I’ll do so.
